kelpdiver 2 #5 December 31, 2009 QuoteRemember 10 yrs ago and all the Y2K hype? Where were you and what were you doing? Before I went out drinking and watching fireworks and getting hit on by a girl at the party who was bored by her bf, I picked up two handguns. I think it was the last time you could buy more than one at a time, so last chance to get multi purchase discounts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nerdgirl 0 #6 December 31, 2009 Deja vu from this morning? Quote Remember 10 yrs ago and all the Y2K hype? Where were you and what were you doing? I flew commercial from ORD to SFO on the evening 31 Dec 1999. Emptiest I have ever seen either airport. Not a lot of folks on the plane either. Made it to the Embarcadero around 10:30-11PM. At the same time, yes I took it seriously - selected that option in the poll. Much of the reason that the Y2K bug was not much of an issue wasn't because it was over-hyped -- altho' there certainly were cases of that; it was because the private and governmental entities globally responded, invested/spent a lot of money, and took action. /Marg Act as if everything you do matters, while laughing at yourself for thinking anything you do matters.

Rookie120 0 #8 December 31, 2009 I was in freefall at the stroke of midnight. Skydive Hawaii, ocean, party, fireworks over the entire island. WOW what a great time. Thanks for bringing back that memory for a moment. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skycop 0 #9 December 31, 2009 I was in the backseat of a National Guard OH-58, flying around greater Cincinnati blacked out with NVG's. We were supporting my police dept., the radio barely cracked. We had a huge celebration with Miss America, the Governor of Kentucky and several other VIP's. There was supposed to be 50,000 people, I think there were 300, 303 counting us in the helicopter. The radio barely cracked on both sides of the Ohio river all night, it was by far the slowest New Years Eve in my law enforcement career. 6 hours of turning fuel into noise, but it was fun!

champu 1 #10 December 31, 2009 Jan 01, 2000 at 8:30 am I was showing up to work (technical service desk at a CompUSA) It was interesting to see the cross-section of people who were nerdy enough to be dealing with their computer in any way on a holiday but not nerdy enough to avoid pinning mundane issues on the y2k bug.

rhaig 0 #11 December 31, 2009 I was laughing at the contractor dollars I got paid to update some people's systems (using vendor patches) remotely. They couldn't RTFM and paid me insane $$ to do it for them. Of course now, with kids and a wife, I'm wishing I hadn't spent it all... But I sure had fun spending it!!-- Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

masterrig 1 #20 January 1, 2010 My wife and I were at the house, watching an old movie (black & white). At mid-night, we kissed, wished each other a Happy New Year, finished the movie and went to bed. The next morning, we kinda laughed about all the 'fears' of computers crashing and etc. It was not much different than the day before. Happy, healthy and safe, New Year to everyone!

SivaGanesha 2 #21 January 1, 2010 QuoteRemember 10 yrs ago and all the Y2K hype? Where were you and what were you doing? I was at a private party at the American Museum of the American Indian in lower Manhattan. I do remember driving home via the west side highway so as to avoid any tolls on the way out of Manhattan--not specifically to avoid paying tolls but because I didn't want my way home to depend on computers."It's hard to have fun at 4-way unless your whole team gets down to the ground safely to do it again!"--Northern California Skydiving League re USPA Safety Day, March 8, 2014 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
